Synthesis of ZIF-67 composite lignin hydrogel and its catalytic degradation of naphthalene by PMS in wastewater.

The incorporation of ZIF-67 into hydrogels for wastewater pollutant remediation has been widely studied, but the synthesis often requires organic solvents such as methanol or ethanol, which can result in the generation of toxic liquid waste. In this study, a novel hydrogel (ZIF-67@SL) was synthesized by integrating ZIF-67 into a dual-network system of sodium lignosulfonate (SL) and acrylamide (AM) using an in situ precipitation method in water. The material was characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, SEM, TEM, BET, and TGA analyses.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in patients with Alzheimer's disease and correlation with multiple cognitive domains.

Background: Accumulating evidence suggested that Alzheimer's disease (AD) was associated with altered gut microbiota. However, the relationships between gut microbiota and specific cognitive domains of AD patients have yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to explore microbial signatures associated with global cognition and specific cognitive domains in AD patients and to determine their predictive value as biomarkers.

Specific gut microbiome signatures predict the risk of acute ischemic stroke.

Introduction: Numerous studies have reported alterations in the composition of gut microbiota in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), with changes becoming more pronounced as the disease progresses. However, the association between the progression of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and AIS remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the microbial differences among TIA, AIS, and healthy controls (HC) while exploring the associations between disease progression and gut microbiota.

Gut commensal alleviates microglia-mediated neuroinflammation against pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease.

Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD). Here, we found that AD patients had significantly lower abundance of , which were negatively correlated with cognitive impairment. Animal experiments showed that supplementation increased beneficial commensal bacteria, significantly improved pathological damage, and suppressed microglial activation in APP/PS1 mice.

Microbiota-microglia crosstalk between Blautia producta and neuroinflammation of Parkinson's disease: A bench-to-bedside translational approach.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is intricately linked to abnormal gut microbiota, yet the specific microbiota influencing clinical outcomes remain poorly understood. Our study identified a deficiency in the microbiota genus Blautia and a reduction in fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) butyrate level in PD patients compared to healthy controls. The abundance of Blautia correlated with the clinical severity of PD.

Gut microbiota alterations are associated with functional outcomes in patients of acute ischemic stroke with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Introduction: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) frequently have poor prognosis. Many evidences suggested that the changes in gut microbiota may play an important role in the occurrence and development of AIS patients with NAFLD. The purpose of this study was to explore microbial characteristics in patients of AIS with NAFLD, and the correlation between gut microbiota and functional outcomes.

Association Analysis of Gut Microbiota and Prognosis of Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke in Basal Ganglia Region.

Previous studies have implied the potential impact of gut microbiota on acute ischemic stroke (AIS), but the relationships of gut microbiota with basal ganglia region infarction (BGRI) and the predictive power of gut microbiota in BGRI prognosis is unclear. The aim of this study was to ascertain characteristic taxa of BGRI patients with different functional outcomes and identify their predictive value. Fecal samples of 65 BGRI patients were collected at admission and analyzed with 16s rRNA gene sequencing.

Association analysis of the gut microbiota in predicting outcomes for patients with acute ischemic stroke and H-type hypertension.

Introduction: H-type hypertension (HHTN) is a subtype of hypertension that tends to worsen the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Recent studies have highlighted the vital role of gut microbiota in both hypertension and AIS, but there is little available data on the relationship between gut microbiota and the progression of AIS patients with HHTN. In this study, we investigated the microbial signature of AIS patients with HHTN and identified characteristic bacteria as biomarkers for predicting prognosis.

The Diagnostic Value of Gut Microbiota Analysis for Post-Stroke Sleep Disorders.

Background: Gut microbiota have been associated with many psychiatric disorders. However, the changes in the composition of gut microbiota in patients with post-stroke sleep disorders (PSSDs) remain unclear. Here, we determined the gut microbial signature of PSSD patients.

The gut microbial signatures of patients with lacunar cerebral infarction.

Background: Emerging evidence revealed that gut microbial dysbiosis is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple neurological diseases, but there is little available data on the relationship between gut microbiota and lacunar cerebral infarction (LCI).

Methods: Fecal samples from acute LCI patients ( = 65) and matched healthy controls ( = 65) were collected. The compositions and potential functions of the gut microbiota were estimated.

Synthesis of magnetic sodium lignosulfonate hydrogel(FeO@LS) and its adsorption behavior for Cd in wastewater.

Heavy metal pollution is becoming increasingly serious. Heavy metal pollutants are nonbiodegradable and can be bioenriched through the food chain, and thus, they greatly threaten the environment and human health. Hydrogels, as an ideal adsorbent, have been widely used to treat heavy metal industrial wastewater.

Predictive microbial feature analysis in patients with depression after acute ischemic stroke.

Introduction: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common emotional problem following a stroke, which requires early diagnosis to improve the prognosis. Gut microbiota plays important role in the pathological mechanisms of acute ischemic stroke and influences the outcome of patients. However, the relationship between PSD and gut microbiota remains unknown.

Gut microbiota signature as predictors of adverse outcomes after acute ischemic stroke in patients with hyperlipidemia.

Introduction: The alterations of gut microbiota have been associated with multiple diseases. However, the relationship between gut microbiota and adverse outcomes of hyperlipidemic stroke patients remains unclear. Here we determined the gut microbial signature to predict the poor outcome of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with hyperlipidemia (POAH).

Nitrogen modulates early growth and physio-biochemical attributes in fragrant rice grown under cadmium and multiwall carbon nanotubes stresses.

Nitrogen (N) modulates plant growth, but its impact on the early growth and physio-biochemical characteristics of rice under cadmium (Cd) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) toxicity has received little attention. In this study, a hydroponic experiment was conducted on two fragrant rice cultivars, e.g.
